RETURNIL VIRTUAL SYSTEM PERSONAL EDITION

Operate your system in a virtual environment, so anything you do will happen in a 'practice mode' and not in the real PC. The Returnil Virtual System Personal Edition completely mirrors your actual computer setup and it can create a virtual storage disk within your PC where you can save documents, data, and files while using the System Protection feature. Provides a simple, effective, and smart way to prevent unwanted or malicious changes from being made to your supported Windows Operating System and the drive where Windows is installed.
